室内环境质量（IEQ）可以影响人类的健康、福祉和生产力。本文回顾了IEQ（包括热、声、视觉舒适和室内空气质量）与人体舒适度和生产力等参数之间的耦合，以确保健康的环境，同时降低建筑能耗。按照目前的人口增长速度，预计到2050年热带将成为世界一半以上人口的家园，因此，特别注意在热带气候中进行的研究，以便编写一份具有特定气候背景的全面审查报告。值得注意的是，我们强调了在热带地区开展更多数据驱动的环境质量研究的必要性，扩大环境质量标准的范围和保持统一的重要性，以及在我们向前发展的过程中，适应性和可持续建筑环境的重要性。会议还讨论了该领域未来研究面临的挑战和机遇，特别是人工智能的整合。
Indoor environmental quality (IEQ) can impact human health, well-being, and productivity. This paper reviews the couplings between IEQ which consists of thermal, acoustic, visual comfort, and indoor air quality, and parameters such as human comfort and productivity, with the overarching aim of ensuring a healthy environment while reducing energy consumption in buildings. At current rates of population growth, it is anticipated that the tropics would be home to over half of the world’s people by 2050, hence, special attention is paid to studies conducted in tropical climates to prepare a comprehensive review with a specific climatic context. Notably,we highlight the need for more data-driven IEQ research in tropical regions, the importance of broadening the scope of and maintaining uniformity in IEQ standards, and the significance of an adaptive and sustainable built environment as we move ahead. A discussion highlighting the existing challenges and opportunities – especially the integration of AI – for future research in the area is also presented.
